Brunell named starter & Skins interested in Douglas

That Guy · 08-30-2004, 11:01 PM

besides that first game, hasselbeck hasn't been any better... he's literally twice as likely to throw an INT than either ramsey or brunell (TH = 5.9% ints, PR = 2.7%, MB = 2.5%)...
with hasselbecks 5 tds and 7 ints last year (vs ramseys 14 and 9), i'd say that's at least one big strike against him. I know ramsey hasn't been lighting any fires this preseason either, but hasselbeck looked really bad in the carolina game.

I understand where you are going with this, but I dont agree with the people you mentioned. Armstead hasnt had a bad year yet in his career. He was basically our mvp on devense last year. Trotter wasnt really an aging vetren with knee injuries when we got him, he got hurt when he was here, and was 25 when we signed him. Trotter wasnt steller when he played here, but over 100 tackles inst a abyssmal deep as you put it. Douglas had 30 tackles and like 2.5 sacks last year.

Id made you list be douglas, joe johnson, mabye kevin green. Dana stubblfield. Bruce smith...etc.

well he got his big paycheck and went back home, same as trotter.

Of course trotter is out with a knee injury right now..lol. and I hope he does the same for them.

If he doesnt get hurt though...thats a monster tandom of ends that they have now.

Absolutely. He and Monte Kiffin both deserve a shot at the head coaching job. Funny thing is, both of them are on record as not being interested -- they prefer to coordinate defenses.

I'm hoping Gregg Williams has the same opinion for at least a few years so the players can stop whining about no continuity at the coaching positions. When Gibbs decides to call it quits, I wouldn't mind seeing Williams take over.

hopefully with gibbs etc he can learn how to coach offense before then.
